gity

Make large Git repositories feel instant.

Gity is a lightweight, cross-platform daemon that accelerates Git operations on large repositories. A single binary runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows - watching your files, maintaining warm caches, and running background maintenance so git status stays fast even in repos with millions of files.

Quick Start

# Install
cargo install gity

# Register your large repo
gity register /path/to/large-repo

# Git commands are now accelerated
cd /path/to/large-repo
git status  # Fast!

Features

• File watching - Detects changes instantly via OS-native watchers
• fsmonitor integration - Tells Git exactly what changed
• Background maintenance - Runs git maintenance during idle periods
• Status caching - Serves results instantly when nothing changed
